Placeholder ImageSix Reasons Winter is the Time to Install a Fence Find out why winter is a great time to install a fence.

Some people ask if winter is a good time to install a fence. To that question, we say yes! If the ground isn’t frozen, you can get started on your installation whenever you like. In fact, winter may be the opportune time for your fence installation. Find out why winter is a great time to install a fence.

Landscaping is Easier During the Winter

A lot of your greenery will be dormant during the winter. This means that your plants and lawn won’t be as likely to suffer damage during the installation process. Because you don’t have to worry about your yard getting damaged, it lets you get through your installation much quicker.

Added Privacy While your Greenery is Dormant

Your yard will likely look bare during the cold winter months (unless you have a lot of evergreens around your yard). Trees and shrubs can give you privacy during spring and summer, but once autumn hits, all of that privacy goes away. Unlike trees and shrubs, a fence will give you year-long privacy, so you won’t ever have to worry about anyone watching you from your yard.

Your Installation Gets Done Quickly

Springtime is when most people get their fences installed. That’s the beauty of winter installations because when spring starts, you’ll already have your fence in place. Winter is a time when there aren’t many people installing fences. This means you can make an appointment with a fencing contractor much more easily and get the job done more quickly.

By installing your fencing in the winter, you dodge the springtime rush. While everyone else is scrambling to get their fences installed, you’ll already be relaxing and enjoying yours.

Your Fence will be Prepared for Winter Weather

Your fence will need replacing if you notice any cracks or rotting. The moment your fence starts taking damage, it will only get worse as time goes on. If your fence is worse for wear, getting one installed during the winter helps to give you security in your yard. It’s fine not to wait until spring for an installation because new fences will hold their own better in the wintertime.

You Don’t Interfere with Outdoor Activities

Spring and summer offer more pleasant weather for enjoying outdoor activities. This is the time you want to enjoy your fence, not spend time getting it installed. This is why winter is a more ideal time for your installation. The cold weather makes spending time outside less inviting, making it a better time to get your installation done while your yard isn’t being used.

It also helps that contractors are in their off-season during the winter. This means it’s easier to find a contractor for your fencing during winter. Doing this lets you get cozy by a warm fire while they handle the installation process for you. Then, when the weather gets warmer, and you’re ready to head outside, your fence will be ready to go.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
